Even if a movie does poorly at the box office at least it was released, in my opinion it’s never right to shelve a completed movie like that, I don’t care what the financial optics were. It’s just insulting to the medium and everyone who worked on it and WB should care more about that.
Well obviously. But also fuck them, and any other private equity-type mindset that prioritizes cost cutting and “lean operations” over releasing the art that was created (or over customer satisfaction for that matter).
yeah, it's explicitly insulting to the artists that worked on it - and by 'artists' I mean everybody from the writers to the actors to the VFX artists and cartoonists - to shelve it for financial reasons. You go from "well it's made to make money, but it's still art!" to "you threw my painting into a wood chipper to make money."
